a temporary aid package can give an economy a boost. it can fund projects that can pay some bills, employs some people for a time, but it cannot sustain an economy for the long term. it cannot pull the whole weight because at some point the money runs out. but an assistance program that helps unleash free enterprise can create enduring prosperity. free enterprise is based on mutual exchange, millions of people buying, trading, building, investing. it has its ups and downs. it is not perfect. it is more reliable and more durable, and ultimately history has shown it is more successful. by the way, perhaps the best example of the good that free enterprise can do is by looking at the example of the developed world itself. my friend arthur at the american enterprise institute has pointed out before 1800 living standards in the west were appalling. a person born in the 18th century lived as his great- great-grandfather had. life was overwhelmed with disease and danger and early death. starting in 1800 the west began two centuries of free ente

they saved the economy from total collapse. and then they lost the 0-vote majority when senator kennedy died. they've not entered anything. they just obstruct. you see just 41 votes. host: george, thanks for your call. amy goodman, go ahead. guest: well, first of all, george, i have a soft spot in my heart for anyone named george because that was my dad's name. it's great to hear from you from hawaii. i think when you look at what happens in washington, yes, we see gridlock today, but i think the problem is not so much the partisan bickering, i think it's the bipartisan consensus. because, on so many issues, there is not that much disagreement. it's hard to accept that now in an election year, democrats and republicans try to make a big deal of their differences. but on the essential issues, for example, what can be more important than war? when a car is engaged in war, there is nothing more important. and i want to hear the voices of people all over this country every day. i see the media as a huge kitchen table that stretches
